He, Dylan Harper, Stephon Castle, and head coach Mitch Johnson have made their ambitions crystal clear heading into the two thousand twenty six to twenty seven season — they want the championship, and Wembanyama says the mindset in that locker room is hungry and ambitious.

The rebuild conversation is very much alive at Citi Field.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
